EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1853, offering a glimpse into the historical significance of Rock Island, Illinois. The image showcases a stunning view of Fort Armstrong, majestically standing on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River. This wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this iconic landmark. The fort's strategic location at Rock Island played a crucial role in protecting and defending America's expanding territories during that era. As we observe this scene, it is impossible not to be transported back in time, imagining what life was like for those stationed within its sturdy walls. In the foreground, we see a rowboat gently gliding along the calm waters of the river while a sailboat elegantly sails by in the distance. These vessels serve as reminders of how vital waterways were for transportation and trade during this period. Granger Art on Demand has masterfully preserved this piece from their collection - an invaluable treasure that allows us to connect with our past and appreciate our nation's rich history. With every detail meticulously engraved onto wood, this artwork serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand, let us take a moment to reflect on how far we have come since 1853 while cherishing our roots and honoring those who came before us.
